A list of anonymous FTP sites was recently posted to alt.sources.
One of the sites (gpu.utcs.toronto.edu) has a PD version of ksh
available.  It is based on a PD version of sh written for V7, or so the
README says.  I have not snarfed the source (only the README) and looked
at it.  If it is for real, I wonder why it has never been posted?
